    I guess you werent around these past two years when games took on a pattern of being released with bugs included...

    And if you could see how complete this version is you'll realize that its not an alpha and a very complete beta...

      On what grounds do you think it's a "very complete beta"? All the talk of place holder art and diplomatic crashes and so forth make it sound like a relatively early alpha, but perhaps that's just me.

          In fact, I recall how software development works, a beta is supposed to have all the features intact, so if this version has place holder art and so forth, it sounds like a blatant alpha to me.

            Really? Uber and few others reported place-holder art in some places.

              Alright. What is place holder-art?

              and if you had this version you would realize it is way to complete to be alpha. It didn't crash on me like the other guy.

                  If any info can be obtained from all this "bugged beta affair" it is: the beta is full of bug! Don't pirate it!

                  Alexnm, good point!

                  BTW about others post: an alpha is a very early game version, with many features disabled at all.
                  That seems to me (but I haven't seen it with my eyes) a mid-stage beta, with almost every features presents but some not working.

                  And graphic placeholder detail is almost a non-sense IMHO: PTW is an expansion, so most of graphic is the same of Civ III and already available from alpha stage up to now.

                    Really? What about the 8 new civs, their leaders, and their UUs? What about new Wonders and buildings?

                      the 8 new civs and their faces were in there. profiles were in there. UUs were in there (dunno about leaders) ... come to think of it, i didn't notice any new wonders or buildings.. but then again, it kept crashin so i dunno..

                      well as long as its confirmed that the final version will be a major overhaul from this version then i'm relieved...

                          Everybody would love you if you posted pics of the new leaders in industrial and modern outfits.

                            I guess thats a while back so the final version should be functioning *relief*

                            I can show you guys the pics in their ancient era... I haven't gotten to modern yet cause i got tired of it crashing... i'll go collect some screens for the heck of it..

                              You could possible throw together something in 5 minutes in the editor... we've all seen the ancient era pictures.
